Description

A woman in a hat and long jacket sits on a saddled camel that lies on a dusty street, smiling at the camera. A man in a knitted sweater and a brimless cap stands to the right, and two boys stand in the background near a wooden gate. Behind them are a plastered house with a shuttered window and a low stone wall.
